What can I do to correct this? I've been trying very hard, but alas I am at a stand still. That is why I'm requesting staff now. But I'd like member input as well, if there is any...? I'd like for things to be as open as possible when it comes to the kind of characters members can create, but apparently this non-linear approach turns people off? Help me out here! What should I do to make this RPG better?

Like they feel it would be helpful to be better acquainted with the musical, since that is what the board is based on. Maybe if you made a list of some of the other fairy tale characters as well? Ones that people know better. That might help. I'm not really certain.. As for a focus point of the board... Thats a little harder. Do they seem to want a more definite plot?

The Narrator Posts: 110 Group: Creator Member #1 Joined: May 7, 2008 Gender Female	That's a good idea. I'm thinking perhaps I could arrange positions and locations of more well known characters, like Hansel and Gretel are Granny's neighbors, or all the witches from each story know each other, and have witch conventions. Ooo! Yes, a more defined plot is what I'm guessing they want. I don't want to fence people in though! I think perhaps I'll gather stuff from all the tales I know about, then establish some basics. Oo and something else someone asked for was a pre-defined species/race list. I take it this much non-linearity kind of intimidates people. So I'll make a list for that too. Hmmm...
